Description

This spacious, well-maintained vacation home has everything you need for a carefree, peaceful retreat or family getaway! It is conveniently located 15 minutes from Traverse City on Duck Lake Peninsula - a lovely wooded community that offers easy access to Traverse City's many attractions, plus the peace and tranquility of an island-like setting surrounded by nature and lake views. No crowds, traffic, or city lights! Duck Lake is a beautiful 1900-acre lake with a sandy bottom, excellent for fishing and all kinds of water sports. A lake access area is located across the street from the cottage for swimming and lakeside picnics. A private boat launch is located about 1/2 mile from the cottage. Quiet, shady streets are ideal for runners, cyclists, or a simple leisurely stroll.

The Peninsula is well maintained by a wonderful neighborhood association that maintains 5 lake accesses, the boat launch, and our very own central park – a large wooded recreation area in the center of the neighborhood, with a playground, basketball court, volleyball, tennis court, and covered/lighted pavilion. For beach enthusiasts, Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore are only 28 miles away.
